18 I am still of the mind that telling users python3 is here is
19 sufficient. Users should already know how to mask packages; I am
20 unconvinced that this update is any different from any other update
21 where I get a news item that foo is out; I don't want to use foo, so I
22 mask foo.

24 If you want to recommend masking python 3 yourself I suggest you blog about it.
